YAAY

I really need to go to bed. I will kick myself in the morning for this one.

so, here goes.

here is a poem that I had to write last year for English. I just decided today that I needed to put it on here. Don't make fun of my primitive (to say the least) poetic abilities...

p.s. I am putting myself on the line here.

My FamilyBeginning with two, no three, now four!How did six enter into our door?Four children two dogs, then one now threeHow did we allow this insanity?A moment of weakness welcomed these friendsIt has only just begun, it will never end.Can we add one more to this tight little bunch? I’ll take her, I love her, we can all scrunch!I made a mistake by adding that oneNot on her character, she is way funBut the two must go and start and zoo of their ownWith three left at home and three on four legs And such a small space being home was the dregsBut not without laughter and stitches at our sideThe winter was not too bad to abideSometimes though, one has to grow upWas that a tear I saw? Or just a hiccup? How sad was that day when “he” went awayOnly to call on the occasional HolidayWith despair in our heart we pulled away from the gateOnly a minute later to predict his soul mateThings change when you’re building a houseThe new had not been inhabited by even a mouseWell actually a cat made our new home its burrowWith mush persuasion and tuna our brows did furrowBut let’s get back on trackAfter installing a few clothes racksWe moved into our beautiful new boxNot wanting to scratch it like a foxSadly the time comes when three becomes two Gladly I did not have that job to doThe moment I realized was extremely bittersweet But honestly now it has been a treatFamily life has been all I’ve ever knownThrough its ups and downs I have grownIn and out, up and down, ebb and flow, cut and growFamilies are sweet and I love mine to deathI hope one day all will experience my living breath.

How cute, I liked it a lot!It's amazing to look at how much the family has changed over the course of a year. People coming and going... and now a new addition. Wonder what else will happen this year? Or next. Hmmm... I recall a conversation we had once about the magical age of 19... do you remember? Maybe that's too vague.

Maren,Good to hear from you....I hope school if going well!Tell your mom my number is still the same (360-920-2238). We haven't changed them and won't until we get a job and decide where we are moving for good when Brian is done with school in May.Hope all is well! Miss you.Natalie
